how do you feel about not being able to steal from most of the shops with magic items ?
doesn't it make less useful to the point of almost useless ?

In fact it was so poorly implemented that in the original BG1 you couldn't actually sell any item that you had stolen from a store's inventory (even the games thieves guild merchant wouldn't accept them). Thankfully BGEE addressed this.
- you need to metagame to know the good targets
- if you fail, it's reload time
- in BG2EE, you can use it to make infinite money extremely easily.
- you can boost the skill to infinite value using potions. Given the limited amount of good items to steal, this makes investing into the skills completely useless
lets say thalantir seels an item for 5000 gold...
i can always pay for it, then sell it somewhere where you can steal it back... so i can at least recoup some gp... what do you think about this tactic ? this way you do not modify the game, but somehow you may still get item for far cheaper...
